Ari Herstand - Baby Eyes lyrics

I once lied down to sleep, woke up eight years had pa**ed me by I closed my eyes before I learned the proper way to cry Stood up 6 feet I felt too tall, my head bumped into the sky I sat back down, looked up at life like I did through baby eyes An eight year dream a rapid stream that would carry me to fate Forgot the shore now I'm aboard the ship to break the wake Put up my sail and I grabbed the rail - I left the anchor back at home The home I knew before I blew away my baby eyes The day before I ignored the storm clouds in the sky I walked along the stream of dreams that would make me come alive But the rain came down and destroyed the stream I thought I'd never dream again It swept me up and took me far away from my baby eyes Five years ago I told myself “don't you be blind If older eyes can lead you closer what's the crime?" Closer to the place I swore I'd one day find myself But one thing I'll always hold One thing I'll never let go... Today I pulled out photographs that I had locked away I thought I lost the key way back in the home next to Whitefish Bay But everyone knows all locks will break if the right force is applied And the beating of my heart bust through the lock I held inside ...these baby eyes
